Delayed recovery, price hike drive KSRTC to look for fuel efficiency

In Mysuru division, drivers are now being trained on how to conserve fuel
It’s a double whammy for the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) as it is facing dearth of commuters amidst the skyrocketing diesel prices. Despite resuming services for over a week, the passenger response has not been very encouraging and the revenue isn’t rising as expected, delaying full-scale operations. If the pandemic had severely hit the KSRTC’s earnings, most of its current revenue was going towards fuel. The KSRTC slowly regained its ground after the impact from last year’s lockdown. Prior to COVID-19, the Mysuru division’s revenue alone was ₹24 crore a month. The Mysuru KSRTC division alone lost nearly ₹70 crore as the buses were off the roads for a long time last year.
